Regamaster MPs are awesome :sweetjesus: On the list of my future wheels for sure, and your offsets and sizes are near perfect for my car too.. :haha: Is your set white?

Very impressed with Skunk2's service. Emailed and called them to say that the LCAs I bought new from an eBay seller was missing the steel mounting brackets needed for the install, they took a look in their warehouse and found a set, shipped to me free of charge for the part and the shipping!

:thumbs:

They're black. I thought about looking for a white set (evo's), but those are even harder to find.

Going to be a while for the exhaust parts though due to port strikes along the Pacific coast

Finally ordered myself some proper sealant (and a few other goodies)

CQUK With CarPro Reload (but without reload because it magically disappeared before delivery) and CQDlux.

Should be cool to use.

If I had a car.

So what time you picking me up? :badpokerface:

As for my goodies, I grabbed some GSC s2 cams, Kiggly beehive springs, retainers, HLA and Supertech valve seals....going to turn the mistubishi into a honda and rev to the moon. I'm at 58,000 miles so I'll be ordering a 60k service kit soon (water pump, belts, tensioner etc) soon. Thinking of painting the valve cover when everything is getting done. Leaning toward the "matte blue gun metal" the volk te37 ultra comes in (last pic for colour reference)

Anyone here bought a foam gun before.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Convenie...item5b05581a3f

is that decent.

trollguy 02-17-2015 08:40 AM

for $10 it's worth a shot.

smoothie. 02-17-2015 09:04 AM

You can get it at walmart for $6 or so.

I grabbed one a few years back, it doesnt sud like the foam guns but its decent for presoak and wash.

Give it a try?

Why do the rear rotors look red...?

Is it just the lighting?

I forgot the base focus had rear drums. :lawl:

Just got Discount Tire to put on a set of 225/60R16 Ohtsu FP6000 (rebadged Falken Ziex 512 with a different sidewall) , down from crappy grand touring all-season 235/65R16 monster truck tires.

Took a 1hr cruise to Lynnwood and 2hr cruise back home after meeting with a friend. Average speed was around 80mph, my car has never felt so planted and sure-footed. No more vague steering feel or floatiness at highway speeds. Much less understeer and car feels much more confident at its handling limits.

And best of all (minus the crappy CAD), after taxes, installation, and all the other miscellaneous recycling fees, I only paid $327 USD :alonehappy: which works out to about $405 CAD which is still a hella great deal.

No longer have monster truck stance, completely ready for coils and slam next week!

^I had the Falken Ziex (the 912s though) on my car when I bought it and I hated it. But then again, it's just an Element so you shouldn't have any issues :troll:

The service attendant tried to sell me the more expensive Falken Pro G4S A/S (Ziex 950) citing its increased treadwear (65k instead of 35k miles) but the tread pattern is more all-season than performance-oriented and non-directional with mini sipes for snow, which honestly I do not need as I rarely do any driving in snow :fuckthatshit:
